That is the cutest pincushion! I probably have at least 30 in my collection - a shelf in a corner cabinet. One of my secret Santa people this year sent me two that I love, but one in particular looks like a woman's hat from the 1800s, embellished with sparklies! Thanks for the giveaway!

Your pincushion is sew cute. A pincushion with handle ... what a great idea. Is "too many to count" an acceptable answer for how many pincushions I have? How about "always room for one more" ... ;) I have them for use in different places in my house so there is always one handy. I use one for awhile and then another one calls my name and I use that one awhile. Thanks for sharing ... :) Pat

Your purse pincushion is just way too cute Bea!!! I have six pincushions and my favorite is a repurposed vintage eggcup that I purchased (I don't use it…I just enjoy looking at it lol!!!) Thanks for sharing :)

Hi Bea! Your pincushion is adorable. It is hard to see just how small it is without a reference point. I only have two pin cushions. One I usually leave on my wrist and one I made for a Moda Bake Shop pattern just last fall. I don't except any prizes since I live in Germany! Keep up the good work! Enjoy the Carolina Blue Sky! I miss it terribly! ;-)

I love your sweet little purse pin cushion. How clever. My most used pin cushion is my magnetic one I have had for over 20 years. I have several others I made for a blog hop last year, the favorite of those is my tiny kitchen aid mixer in orange. Thank you so much for showing your talents here today.

My favorite pincushion is one of the few I've made and is shaped like a flower. Not nearly as cute as yours or as others I've seen online. I don't make a lot of little things like that because I find them fiddly and sometimes frustrating. Thanks for the chance to own a really cute one!

I have about 8 pincushions that I can count without taking the sewing area apart. My favorite is a simple one that is made from Alpaca wool. It was given to me by the person who raised the alpacas, dyed the wool and made the pincushion. How excellent is that?

Pin cushions are new to me. I just made a few last year and not sure why I never used one before. I made them for my friends the year before for Christmas and then make two different patterns after that. I love my big owl one that I did for a bird hop. Thanks for showing your wonderful work and having a great give away.

i have three pincoushins. one is a chicken, one is an owl and one is a bale of hay. all are gifts from bloggers and i love them all. your pincoushin is so darling. i would not mind to have a full size purse like this lol thank you and your sponsor for a wonderful giveaway babscorbitt@gmail.com

Clever idea for a pincushion! I have three...an 'antique' tomato, a finger cushion and an elephant (was actually a tree ornament that I repurposed). The elephant is my favorite because it was a 3rd world project and it's cute. svonfumetti at yahoo dot com

I started a pincushion collection for my mother-in-law and of course i just had to start one for myself at the time. I would say I have about 12 so far...each birthday/holiday I get another! Thanks for the chance!

About 10 pincushions reside in my sewing room. My favorite is a small chicken that was given to me by a retreat buddy. Your little purse pincushion is cute and would enjoy keeping company with my other pincushions.

I am so proud of myself, I have 3 pincushions now! hahahah! My favorite is one that looks like a football in the grass, it's a hemisphere shape, and light, so easy to carry back and forth from the living room to the hobby room. Thank you for sharing your projects!~Brandy

wow... I love purses and pincushions. as to how many pincushions I have? including the ones that fit over fingers and wrist.. at least 26. some of these are old tomato pinnies that I keep in a basket and don't really use. my very most Fave pinnie is a felted wool ball that sits in a pretty blue glass dish. I also have several dozen 'pumpkin pinnies' left from a batch that I made for a boutique.

I have 3 pincushions. One is actually a part of my sewing box--it is attached to the inside top of the lid. My second one is a crocheted pincushion my grandmother made my mom which she passed on to me. It is stuffed with cotton. My third pincushion is the standard tomato with the attached strawberry. My favorite is the crocheted one for sentimental reasons. The one I use the most is the tomato.

I love your cute purse pincushion. I have never had one or seen one filled with crushed walnuts, although I have heard about them.

I have 4 pin cushions and probably my favorite one is one that I made using a small flower pot with red lips all of over it. It really comes in handy!I love your cute purse pin cushion Bea!!Happy sewingDawn array-dawn at cox dot net

I don't have many pincushions. I have two of the tomato pincushions that I use the most. But my son, when he was little, made me a pincushion out of two squares of fabric, red and blue. That pincushion is special.

I love your sunset quilt--beautiful, and the purse pin cushion is darling. I have about 5 or 6 pin cushions, and I love all of the different ones you can make. This one is so cute! My favorite is a clock one I made for a blog hop. It is attached to my sewing machine, so I always have pins handy and a place to put them. Thanks for having a great give-away!

I love the purse pincushion. I hate to admit how many I have, but can I just say more than 50, but less than 100...lolMy favorite is one of the "vintage & antique" ones and it is a bird clamp with a pincushion on it.

OMGosh...I think I have at least 15 pincushions....they are displayed all over the house....I think my favorite is the one my son in law brought me back from Japan.....I didn't even ask for it he just thought I would like it.....what a great giveaway....thanks

I have been looking at your little purses for some time, and would love to make one. I have one of the very common place tomatoes, and one that is a treasure, given to me by my mother. It is in the shape of a beetle, with hand stitches outlining the wings and the head and ceramic head pins for the markings on the wings. I must ask her about the origins of this piece while I still have the chance, as my mother will be 90 next month!

I have about a dozen pin cushions, and some I have made, some have been gifted to me, but my favorite is a simple square with floral fabric, tied like a package with a ribbon, and button in the center where the bow would be. It's not too big, and the pins go in it like butter!

So many of us collect pin cushions. Well, I shouldn't be surprised. I have at least 15, probably more. Of course I love the purse, it's adorable. I have 2 favorites...a giganto pin cushion that's pink and another made with wool appliques.

I love your little purses and honestly the only pin cushions that I have are the 2 you sent to me (thank you again) and two that were purchased early on. Since I already have one of your adorable little purses, if my name is picked please pick again and send it to someone else.

The quilt is beautiful. I think you nailed the intent of the hop. The pincushions are adorable. I can only think of two pin cushions that I have. I've had it since I was a preteen when my great aunt outfitted a sewing basket for me, so I've had it fifty years. And, I received the other one as a thank you when with my first order from an online quilt shop. I love pin cushions and would even like to try by hand at making a couple. Thank you for participating and the beautiful work. Also, you are very generous with your giveaway - thanks!

I probably have 10-15 pincushions. Most of them are very utilitarian. I do have a few that I made from batiks that are a little more flashy. My favorite though is my magnetic one. I actually have two of them but #1 disappeared in my house over 2 years ago! How does that happen??

What a darling pincushion!I have about 4 of them, 2 of which I made and perform the double duty of being a scrap and misc. catcher. They're not as cute as yours, but serve the purpose.lv2bquilting2@comcast.net

Love the cute purse. I only have 3 pincushions. My favorite is a large round pincushion that I bought from a yard sale. When I got it home I discovered that someone had pushed a large number of needles into the cushion. That was a delightful surprise! I ended up with at least 2 dozen needles.

For years I used a magnetic pin holder. Then a DIL gave me a thread catcher with pin cushion. Then I started piecing and quilting and now I don't see a pincushion I don't like. But I only have 5 or 6. With my grand daughters sewing more, they seem to walk off. I'm also losing pins! Thanks.

Believe it or not - I only have one pin cushion - it's part of an organizer that has a hanging bag for scraps and thread. It's a free pattern from Elizabeth Hartman, I found it on her blog. Thanks for the give away! jacklynnsteven at netzero dot com

Your pin cushion is adorable! I have only 2 pincushions and one of them I did make. It is a little embroidered pillow with tubing and lace sewn into the edge. It also has a fabric tape measure sewn into the seam with a little pair of folding scissors attached by a loop at the end of the tape. I love this pin cushion because I can loop it around my neck and keep everything handy when I am doing hand sewing.

I have 3-4 pin cushions, but my favorite is my very first one, a wrist pincushion I started with in junior high home-ec. I had to replace the cloth on it once, it's at least 40 years old. But it still clips to my arm and I love it. I remember in junior hi I'd leave home-ec with it still on my arm and get teased about my funny "bracelet".

I probably have 15 pin cushions, some I have collected, some I have made and my favorite is the rocking chair pin cushion that belonged to my grandmother Kate. I have had it since I was a little girl and I am now 61.Kathy Daviskdavis1@centurytel.net
